CASE FOR VACUUM OR OTHER BOTTLES.

Specication of Letters Patent.

Application led September 29, 1908.

Patented Oct. 5, 1909.

Serial No. 455,255.

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, Nnnnirran GoLDn-nc, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Case for Vacuum or other Bottles, of which -the following is a specification. f

My invention consists of a case for a vacuum or other bottle, composed of a casing proper, and resilient means within the same, whereby the bottle ,will be held in place firmly, but without severity, and so protected that should the casing fall or be otherwise subjected to blows or shocks, the bottle will be prevented from breaking, and other advantages are presented, as will be described i hereinafter.

For the purposeof explaining the inventlonkthe accompanying drawing illustrates a` satisfactory reduction of the same to practice, but the important instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific' arrangement and organization shown and described.

Flgure l represents a vertical section of a bottle-case` embodying my invention. Figs. 2, and 3 represent vertical sections of. different portions of the body of the casing on an enlarged scale. Fig. 4 represents aV vertical section of a portion of the cap or cover of the casing on an enlarged scale.

Slmilar'letters of reference indicate corresponding parts 'in the figures.

Referring to the drawings A designates a bottle receiving jacket or` casing consisting of a hollow body, having on the periphery of its upper end and the screwthreaded rim B for engagement therewith of the removable cap C, and on the periphery of its lower end the screw-threaded rim D for engagement therewith of the removable base orbottom E.

On thei top of the casing, is the inturned ring F ,"to whose inner edge is attached the gasket Gr, which is preferably formed of .soft'rubber and has'a circumferential groove 1n its outer periphery to receive the edge of the ring F, thus assisting in holding sald gasket in position, it being noticed that a bottle occupying the casing A has its neck adapted to entersaid gasket and be resiliently-held by the same.

Rising from and secured to the base E isV a cushion H, which is hemispherical and preferably formed of soft rubber. Depending from and secured to the top of the cap C is the cushion J, which is hemispherical and preferably formed of soft rubber.

The interior of the side of the casing A is lined with a cushion K, which is composed of the outer pasteboard or card-board wall L and the inner fabric wall M. Between the walls is a space K', which is filled with pliable material such as cotton, wool, etc., or

filled by iniation with air or other suitable liuid. The interior of the side of the .capC is similarly lined by the cushion N, which is composed of walls P, Q, and material lling the space ,N between the same.

Seated on the rin F is the drinking glass or vessel R, which 1s overturned and covering the cork or. stopper S of the bottle and the protruding part of the neck of the latter, it being noticed that the cap C is sufficiently deep to receive said vessel R, and adapt the cushion J to contact with the inverted bottom of said vessel, while the depth of the base E and the height of the cushion H are gaged so that the bottom of the bottle will contact with said cushion H.

On the underside of the ring F within the cushion is a cushion T, forming an elastic abutment for the bottle and a pliable base upon which the ring F rests. Below said cushion are the packing rings U of soft and pliable material, the same being adapted to embrace the breast of then bottle below the gasket Gr, and serve to retain the samev 1n position, while also acting as cushions for the bottle at said breast.

The operation is as follows The cap and base are removed, and a bottle is inserted in the casing from below. The neck of the bottle is directed through the gasket G, so as to protrude above the same, and its lower portion is engaged by said gasket, which encircles it and resiliently, but firmly, clasps the same, the breast of the bottle being also clamped and held by the packing U. The base or bottom E is now screwed or otherwise secured to the casing, when the crown of the cushion H bears against the bottom of the bottle and exerts gentle, but sufficient, pressure against it to hold kthe upper part. of the bottle in engagement with the gasket G, and thus the bottle is resiliently retained and controlled in the casing. The drinking vessel R is now placed over the stopper and neck of the bottle and rested on the ring F as a seat, said ring being cushioned..

from below, as has been stated, while the rim f eral shifting. The cap of the vessel, which isbelow, encireles the gasket G and its side is embraced by the cushion N, said vessel is revented from latis now screwed or otherwise secured to the casing, when the cushion J bears resiliently, but firmly, against the bottom of the vessel, which bottom is above, and-so holds the vessel from displacement in the longitudinal direction of the device.

It will be seen thatas the bottle is inclosed by the cushion in the casing, and the drinking vessel is inclosed by the cushion in the cap, said parts are removed from any injurious action of undue shocks or blows imparted to the sides of said casing and cap without 'being fractured or destroyed, and as the bottle is resiliently held on its bottom and neck, it is not liable to be fractured or broken at said places by the shocks or blows imparted to the bottom or top of the casing. Then as the neck of the bottle is removed from contact with the top of the cap and the vessel R is resiliently held in place and prevented from contacting with vthe mouth and neck of the bottle, the top of the latter is guarded and protected, While said vessel is removed from any injurious action of shocks or blows that may be imparted to the top of the cap. i

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, .isz-

f 1. A casing composed of a hollow body having a` closing cap therefor, a cushioned lining on the interior of the cap and body, a bottom having a heini-spherical elastic cushion, an elastic cushion carried by the cap, an inturned ring secured to the body at the junction of the cap and body, and a yielding annular member supported by said ring to embrace the neck of a bottle'.

2: A `casing composed of a hollow body having a lining for the interior thereof, said lining being composed of a plurality of walls with a space between them and elastic material filling 7said space, screw threaded rings at the top and bottom of said casing and an inwardly extending annular gasket within the upper ring,

3. A casing composed of a body, a closing cap therefor, an inwardly extending resilient ring to embrace the neck 4of a bottle, and cushioned-.linings respectively on the interior of said body and cap, and a hemispherical rubber cushion on the bottom.

4. A casing composed of a hollow body, a bottom detachably secured to one end thereof and a hemi-spherical rubber cushion on said bottom rising therefrom and a yielding annular member supported by the other end of said body to embrace the neck of a bottle.

5. A casing composed of a hollow body, a cap having a hemi-spherical rubber cushion depending therefrom, and an inwardly extending yielding ring secured to the body "at the junction of the'cap and body to embrace the neck of a bottle.

6. A casing composed of a hollow body,

.a bottom detachably connected to one end thereof, a heini-spherical rubber cushion secured to said bottom and rising therefrom, a removable cap, a hemi-spherical rubber cushion on the same and depending therefrom, and aninwardly extending yielding ring secured to the body at the junction of the body and cap constructed to yieldingly embrace the neck 4of a bottle.

7. A casing composed of a hollow body.

drinking vessel combined with a cap having a cushioned lining for engaging said vessel. 10. A bottle-receiving casing composed of a hollow body havin@ an annular inturned` seat at the top thereo a gasket on the inner periphery thereof, said seat being adapted to support a drinking vessel in inverted position, and said gasket to enter said vessel and engage the inner side thereof, andv a cap connectible with said body, having a device adapted to resiliently engage said vessel from above and hold the latter protectively in position over the neck of the bottle.

j ll. A bottle-receiving casing composed of a hollow body havin an annular inturned seat at the top thereo a gasket on the inner periphery thereof, and a resilient ring beneath said seat.

cushion.
